  • Strong hands-on expertise with Vertex AI (including model training, pipelines, orchestration, deployment, and monitoring) and Google's Agentic AI stack.
  • Hands-on with one or more of these agent orchestration frameworks: Google ADK/Agentspace,LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, CrewAI or AutoGen.
  • Proficiency in Python, LLM integration workflows, MCP (Model Context Protocol) for tool integration and A2A (Agent-to-Agent) orchestration for multi-agent workflows.
  • Expertise in distributed training, online inference, and low latency serving architectures.
  • Experience with Kubernetes, Cloud Run, and Dataflow/PubSub for scalable deployment.


Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience with AI governance frameworks and responsible AI practices (Vertex AI Model Monitoring, BigQuery logging, Looker dashboards).
  • Contributions to open-source AI projects or publications in leading AI/ML conferences.
  • Experience with multi-modal models and advanced optimization strategies & frameworks.
  • Experience automating, architecting and governing production grade MLOps infrastructure to scale, optimize, and observe AI workloads.


Annual Salary Range: $170,000-$200,000/year, with a generous benefits package that includes paid time off, health, dental, vision, and 401(k) savings plan with match.
